The Making of: The 4th Background

Apparently, every few backgrounds there is one which doesn't wish to comply with a straight forward composition.

It's all in the angles: this one seemed dead set on being another jump cut. And I just wasn't having that. Although, now if I have time, I can insert a wee bit of a pan. But it really isn't needed, now that I have the composition looking okay.

And, here is the trail of trials and errors leading up to the almost-complete fourth background.




This one was too much like the angle used for the bird. So it was a no.


While this one was lower, I didn't want to animate this angle. It would have been too much of a straight line.


Okay, so this one is a bit higher, like the first. It feels too harsh and forced.


I tried changing the distances, the house and the hedges are a bit further back in this one. The angle is slightly less steep, but still, not quite right.


So then, I forced this angle out, to mess around a bit more with where everything would be in the frame. Finally, down from an elevated view point!


To conclude, I have turned the swing around to make it more fun to animate. I have blurred out the house and so on, to give it a bit more depth. I think this should work okay.
